Intermediates

Sophistication and purity in a double daffodil with a distinct whorl of petals and a loose double cup. More cool charm from Grant Mitsch. Alabaster is pure white and an ADS intermediate. Late Bloomer.

Commodore Perry is a showy and commanding pink cup from the armada of the late Dr. John R. Reed of Michigan. Even though the Commodore is an intermediate, his extra large caliber gun and broad sails will quickly scuttle the opposition. Said to be sun-pro

Well-named Frostbite is a spontaneous poeticus sport, extra white pointy petals intruding into the cup. Widely variable except that Frostbite retains an overall hexagonal corona shape, analogous to snowflakes. Scented Frostbite brings a lovely blast of cool to the late spring border when all of the other daffodils have melted. An intermediate, Frosty is attractive in a vase , for us blooms with Spanish Bluebells and Tulip Maureen. You will be pleasantly surprised by the the scent.

It is not often that a yellow trumpet is found adjacent to the term ‘Intermediate’. But Little Alfred sports all of the trumpet flanged and notched cupped bling that you want, but with a “seen not heard” modesty that you like. Lovely color, form and detail. Increases. We think Little Alfred is a candidate for pot culture.

A round confection of royal icing and strawberry cream, Little Dorr is a recent intermediate double. A crumpled yet neat bloom, divided equally between two soft colors. 3 inch flowers. From the Brian Duncan pastry counter.

Double headed doubles, now that’s a rare thing; with jonquilla parentage Little Kiwi is upright and fragrant to boot. An intermediate, not all stems are twins.

My Sweetheart

A well organized double that is pointy and rounded at the same time . Did we say very pink and pointy ? Sion of Gresham. Sunproof ? Runkery is servicable daffodil all around, twice in fact.
